Good luck with your build, it will be a fun adventure!!

Most flight suits or overall's have a 2 piece zipper so it makes going to the bathroom not a problem.

Is there a way you can have the T-Bits as 2 printed pieces instead of 1? I know for those who want Lancer status will probably want them in two pieces as it seems the flat square piece is supposed to sit higher than the Tie bit.

Keep in mind that the ILM FX department probably was not concerned about being uniform on how things underneath the costume was constructed, as long as it looked uniform on screen. There are some screen grabs showing a Scout using a neck seal used by Stormtroopers. So, to the FX department, as long as there was no skin showing they used whatever they had to to keep the look similar (black, no skin showing) and functional for the actors using the props.

Where are you having trouble? Is it because the helmet is too narrow and the arms of your glasses get in the way or is it because the front lens is too close to wear glasses?

Nexous, others can correct me if I am wrong but if you plan on redoing your boots. Make sure that the closure is in the middle of the back, not off to the side. Both pieces should meet in the middle.

If you plan on using the suspenders, I would recommend not using ones that cross in the back or that have a bridge in the back that connects the two as it tends to pull them inward and shows (as evident in your photo) If you get the individual black suspenders or remove the piece that connects the two, then it would be easier to keep them hidden. I have heard of some who have sewn or somehow attached suspenders to their flak vest to keep them in place.

For the knee armor, I found that sticky velcro on the underside of the upper part of the knee armor and sewing the other side onto your flight suit does wonders and I dont need to have the elastic bands super tight to keep them in place. Ill take pics to show you what I mean.

Very nice bucket! Have to someone find a way to convince the wife to let me get a new bucket

The chin-cup may still be there just the angle of the helmet might be covering it as evident that you cant see a chin at all. You can clearly see his neck and the angle he is looking, you shouldn't see his chin. Awesome picture btw.

If anyone has recieved one of these I would like to know how it fits. My flak vest is still in good working order, but the sleeves are starting to show signs of wear.

Looking good! I honestly would not have thought to use hot water to formfit my armor better. Learning something new everyday!

Ahh so the pictures on their site do not do it justice I take it? The pictures alone make it look like it would be hot and not allow much airflow, I do hope my original thoughts were wrong. Cant wait to hear your thoughts!

I would highly discourage anyone from using magnets for the TD. It bounces around too much and would constantly fall off, even with the use of RE magnets. Not to mention if you bump into anything youd have to check to make sure your TD didnt fall off. Stick with the clips

Yea, let me know how you like it. I just have some left over pads from my old skate helmet. Tho those condor pads look like a great replacement!

Yea, not sure why FenixProps made a pad for the front. Overall that pad looks good but, unless you are trooping in a freezer, I wouldnt use it as it looks like it will contain heat and not let your helmet breath as many will testify that keeping a good airflow in the helmet is a must to not only keep cool but keeps your visor from fogging up.

Dont worry, I was thinking the same thing....although I was worried that I was somehow scaring people away with my return. Its been too long and Im glad to be back on the forums

Is this file one large file or multiple single tracks? I would think that multiple single tracks would allow the chatter to be more random(shuffle!)

Hey all....old member here....havent been on in a while My vest has a zipper closure and velcro on the back, I have a detachable lanyard I hooked onto the zipper pull and Im able to zip up the vest on my own and the velcro flap covers the zipper when Im done. Maybe you could sew in a zipper to where the velcro flap covers it when you are done. If you need me to I can take a picture...I love my vest but its starting to fall apart sadly

Ive searched the forums for makers of this as I am looking to replace mine. Now Ive only seen one or two makers and I am curious if anyone can PM me with suggestions. The one I have is awsome and I hope to find another just like it as she used the duckcloth(I think thats what its called) and it holds up well, just when I had it modified to be sewn onto the vest, the person doing the alterations removed too much fabric. It still works but I am wanting to replace it and the vest as it is needs some fixing.

PG still making this? Ive been lost for a while

Still trying to find a pic but the other day I ran into an individual out here and he had a pair of boots that had a covering that resembled the armor covering on the Barc trooper. He said he got his boots from IronEagle and Ive scoured the net to find them yet no luck so far But his boot looked like it was modified to add a leather covering that sat above the boot like how its pictured.....still trying to find that darn boot!

*sigh* Wish I could go as well but Ill be back in Japan by then. However, I need to start aquiring some BARC armor....just nobody has been answering my PMs

I surely hope not, it would be like lopping all of us into the 'Stormtrooper' category

Keep up the good work man, lol if I could help I would......just sorta stuck in the big sandbox right now. PM sent.
